I was just looking thru some photos I took of the house when we decided to buy it and I thought I would share some before and afters as well as some shots of the floors installed!

brady bunch remodel
- bathroom is DONE! May 24, 2013Two major things happened this week. The bathroom is DONE, and we got permit approval for the remodel/addition (only about a month after we submitted the plans, which surprised the heck out of us since we had heard that the permit backlog with the City of Austin was causing permits to take 2-3 months or […]
- so close… May 15, 2013The big reno is still in the works. We are waiting for the final, final bid from our contractor as well as our 2012 taxes (we filed an extension like we usually do to find out that the bank is requiring them to be done). Oh, and we did submit our plans for permits, but […]
- upstairs bathroom remodel | it’s happening! April 30, 2013We finally pulled the trigger on the upstairs bathroom remodel! Our goal is to have this bathroom done before we start the main house remodel, and we are well on the way! We purchased all of the materials/finishes and hired a contractor to do all the install/work. So far, so good! The bones of this […]
- round top/warrenton antiques weekend April 5, 2013Two posts in one week? What?! I must have a fever I made two trips out to the huge Round Top/Warrenton antiques fair this year (my first time to EVER go)! I didn’t realize how close it was to Austin (about an hour and 20 minutes!) – if I had known I am sure I […]
- palm springs (mid century architecture mecca) and san diego! April 2, 2013I wanted to share a bunch photos from the fun family vacation we took to Palm Springs and San Diego in February! Our daughter Zoey is 2 1/2 and finally old enough to really have fun going places and doing things with us, so we decided to take a family vacation (and one where I […]
- still chugging along… March 19, 2013Sadly, no news to report on the remodel front. We are waiting on the final contractor bid and then we will submit the plans for permitting. Who knows how long that will take?! I never thought it would take this long, but then again I am not really surprised. I am getting itchy fingers though […]
- remodel plans and updates February 3, 2013Shame on me, it’s been SO very long since I last posted. Not for lack of trying, but I’ve been busy, busy trying to finish editing all of my pre-xmas wedding and portrait shoots as well as working on a super secret business Mike and I are starting together. Well, it was super secret but […]
- blood, sweat, and an emergency plumber call (on a sunday) December 9, 2012Look what we started today! We were chugging along with demo of the upstairs bath thinking “we got this” when the wall hit the shower handle as it was coming down. Oops. The handle broke, water was spewing everywhere. Mike ran outside to turn off the water and in the meantime the water trickled down […]
- sneak peek | kitchen December 4, 2012We’ve been working with an awesome architect duo (and soon to be husband and wife) Alex Odom and Kelsey Harper to come up with plans for our remodel/addition to the house over the past couple of months. We had a meeting this weekend and we just about finalized everything, with a few tweaks to go […]
- cyber monday shopping! November 26, 2012There are a ton of Cyber Monday sales, and I wanted to let you know about one because it is such an amazing deal. Rugsusa.com is having 75% off and free shipping, the code is CYBER75. I’ve been stalking this rug for our living room, and I just got this rug in an 8×10 for […]
